Important Information:
The career center is on the move- literally on the move since we are not in our new space as of yet. However we are trying to reach our students with applicable career, college and work-based learning information. College and University representatives will be visiting RNE and will continue do so throughout the fall. Please see Mrs. Sanders for specific dates and schools. In addition, college trips will offered for Juniors and Seniors. Be sure to listen for more details and trips coming soon.
The career specialists Mrs. Thompson and Mr. Hoyle, will be helping students identify career clusters of interest by utilizing the SC Pathways for interest and skills assessments. Also, career lunches will begin. Members of the local business community will speak to groups of students periodically. Listen to the Morning News Show for career lunch opportunities and career cluster topics. Be sure to visit the career specialists’ webpage for more information on college and career events at RNE, featured careers, and links to other useful career sites.
Students also have the opportunity to job shadow; they should see Mr. Sumter, the work-based learning coordinator to discuss the various options. Students can see Mr. Sumter for handouts on cover letters, resumes, and job interviewing. In addition, he is featuring a job tip of the week on the Morning News Show.
If there are any questions about college, career, and work opportunities, please call or come to the career center, Career Central.
